Job-Alike.org Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 25, 2011

This Privacy Policy explains how Job-Alike.org, ("we" or "us") collects, protects, uses and shares information about you when you use Job-Alike.org.

Job-Alike.org is a professional networking website for the education community. When you register you are asked for professional information that can help us connect you with other members of the education community based on your job function, your educational interests, the kind of institution you work in, and your geographic location. Your profile on Job-Alike.org can only be viewed by other members of your Job-Alike.org Professional Support Networks (PSNs).

Your Profile Information

When you register on Job-Alike.org, you create a personal profile that includes your full name, title, department, institution, city, state/province, zip/postal code, and country. You have the option to add a personal photo, a biography, and your educational interests.

Your email address is not displayed by Job-Alike.org. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activities that occur under your password. You agree to allow Job-Alike.org to update your email address if Job-Alike.org receives a change of email notice from you. You agree to let Job-Alike.org change your password for you if your password is lost.

Sharing Content on the Job-Alike.org

As an Job-Alike.org Member, you can share content, such as a blog, photos, and resource files you have uploaded. This information will only be available to other members of your Job-Alike.org PSNs unless you choose to share it on the public forum.

If you form a new PSN, you are the administrator and control the community settings. The administrator is responsible for determining how other members of Job-Alike.org may access the community and to what degree the community's discussions, blog, files and other content are accessible to other members of Job-Alike.org. A community may be public, private or hidden and the content within the community may have a variety of policies governing how other members of the site interact with it. It is strongly suggested that the default settings are selected when setting up a new PSN.

Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to the content of your personal and community pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We also cannot control the actions of other members whom you may allow to access your profile. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your information will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

With the exceptions that we explain here, we do not give or sell individual information to advertisers. We use aggregated information to help Job-Alike.org members connect with other members who share common roles, interests, and characteristics.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.

When disclosing any personal information, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible by unauthorized persons. By disclosing any information, you accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing online over the Internet and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security. We disclaim all liability for the security of information transmitted through the Internet.
